Orange Cake Recipe
A Perfect Tea-time Snack!

This orange cake recipe is the easiest of all. I could say that it is the base of orange cake. It is simple but has a delicious flavour.

The combination of almonds and orange makes it special.

The orange fragrance that you will get while baking will make you feel like taking it out of the oven instantly and eating it.

Orange cake comes in various tastes such as orange sponge cake, orange nut cake, orange and lemon cream cake. These are a bit harder to prepare.

I prepare this easy dessert recipe quite often. We have it for breakfast, as a tea snack and the kids love to include it in their lunch box.
